We can put those Mark Nolan-to-Mullen rumors to rest. Nolan won’t be leaving his position as Regis Jesuit’s football coach, according to the school’s administration.

The Mullen job, vacated when Dave Logan was fired, has been linked to Nolan for a few weeks now. It made sense, too: Mullen principal Jim Gmelich had hired Nolan at Regis (during his three-year stint as principal there), and the two also have ties from their days at Phoenix’s Brophy Prep.

But Nolan’s set at Regis Jesuit. He won’t be leaving for Mullen.

As for the opening itself, Mullen’s sent mailings to hundreds of catholic schools around the country seeking applicants, while also reaching out to in-state candidates — a good number of them from public schools.

Nolan is 25-11 in three seasons at Regis, including a loss in the 2010 5A title game to Mullen and Logan. Logan, of course, has since landed at Cherry Creek.
